CANADA,S RAILWAY HORROR.
A Canadian ExcursiOn Train I'm q
BlaZe-Great Loss Of Life.

St Thomas, Ontario, was the scene last evening
OF q most horrible railroad accident. At that
place the Grand Trunk and the Michigan Central
Railroads cross. An excursion train from Port
Stanley, on the Grand Trunk road, ran into a
freight train on the Michigan Central. Many of
the cars Of the latter were loaded with coal OIL
The engine OF the excursion train crashed into
OF the oil cars, and in an instant the Oil was on
fire. 1t burned with great flerceness, communi-
eating to the cars both trains and extending to
the warehouses coal and lime sheds and dwell
1ngs adjoining the track on both sides, all of
which were burned to the ground with their con-
tents. Engineer Donnelly, OF the excursion train,
was buried in the wreck. The fireman Jumped
and escaped with slight injuries.
The forward car OF the excursion train was filled
With passengers, and though all the aid possible
was extended to them, many lives were lost. The
collision occurred at O'Clock, and an hour later
When thousands OF people were crowding around
the burning pile endeavoring to suppress the
names and save lives. one OF the oil tanks on the
freight train exploded, scattering blazing Oil in
every direction Many persons were thrown to the
ground by the force OF the explosion, and some
were literally enveloped in the blazing Oil Last
night the number and names OF those lost In the
wreck could not be accurately ascertained, but IL
was known that nineteen persons were killed. U.
$. Consul Francis was struck by hose reel and 1t
Is feared he has been fatally injured.

Overhauling the Accounts OF DisbuEs-

COUNT OF CASH AND EXAMINATION OF VOUCHERS
BEGUN THIS MORNING.

An investigation OF the accounts OF the disburs-
Ing officers OF the Treasury was begun this morning.
The Bacon affair and the forgeries OF Harvey, to-
gether with the recollection of the Post ONCE and
Navy Department frauds and the Howgate defal-
cation suggested to the Secretary Of the Treasury
that the accounts Of all the disbursing ofdcers
should be examined, their cash counted and COM
pared with their vouchers and all their books
thoroughly examined. The disbursing officers
have each certain appropriations to their credit
upon which they draw by check. and they are re-
qu1red to furnish vouchers for all expenditures
They frequently draw out large sums of money to
De expended for various things and generally
have certain amount Of unexpended cash on
hand.
Without previous warning Acting Secretary
thompson this morning ordered a count in the
cash IN the possession Of the disburstng officers OF
the Treasury, beginning at 9 O'Clock. The cash
will be all counted daring the day and the vouch:
erS Will then be examined to see II all is right and
balances properly. There is no opportunity to
cover up any crOOkedness should any exist. II
there are proper vouchers for all the expenditures
and the cash balance is just the difference between
the expenditures and the sums drawn, the ac-
counts viii be all right. should there be any
money missing the shortage would be discovered
through the absence OF vouchers.
